Short Cut


After I gave up trying to cut 2-1/2” squares with my die -



I switched to my Short Cut -
My June Tailor Short Cut ™

I love my Short Cut -

I cut two leftover stacks of "chunks" 2-1/2” wide and turned them sideways -



Cut in the proper slots - and got two stacks of 2-1/2" squares -



With no hassle -

Did I already say that I love my Short Cut?

Now I have my 2-1/2" squares all cut out nice and neat -

56 red
112 white/neutral
112 black

And all sorted out for the blocks -
Moving right along -




Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

    when I bought my short cut, I didn't know if I'd use it -oh dear - I love it. I don't have a 'cutter', but I've heard alot of different pros and cons - for now I think I'll stick with a rotary cutter!

    Wow! You've really got a BAD die. I'd contact them about it. Send them that picture. I few uncut spots might be acceptable but that is ridiculous!
    Looks like you're coming right along. I'm working on my star blocks now and every other step is finished. I can see the end....far away. lol

    That die looks so frustrating! I'm glad you had a good second option. I've not used those rulers before, but you make them look pretty slick!
